My Dart Little M ( Chevy ) has openings in the lifter galley that , clearly , vent / balance the crankcase as it is. What exactly is his point?
My vac pump pulls off a valve cover , the heads have very generous openings into the lifter galley ( Brodix ).
Someone please inform me as to what in the heck adding a "balance tube " from the block off plate the the other valve cover will accomplish?

I'm betting nothing.......what say you?
